Akai MPC 60 User Manual

Section 9: Midi functions 203
all available voices are used, because the synthesizer
"thinks" the keys are still held.
2. Some synthesizers have the ability to use midi controller 64 for
other purposes than sustain, so it is desirable to record it into
the sequence.
For these reasons, the MPC60's special sustain processing may be defeated.
To defeat this special feature and record midi sustain messages (controller
64) into sequences, set the SPECIAL SUSTAIN PEDAL PROCESSING
field to OFF. Normally, keep this field set to ON.
• SOFT KEY 1 - <All notes off>:
Pressing this soft key has exactly the same effect as selecting option 4 from
the MIDI screen- it turns all notes off on all midi channels.
